UFC 202 Salaries: Conor McGregor Rakes in Record $3 Million Purse

The
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight titleholder pulled
in a record $3 million purse, as he took a majority decision from
Nate
Diaz in the UFC
202 headliner on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor avenged his UFC 196 submission loss to “The Ultimate
Fighter 5” winner, with 48-47 marks from judges Derek Cleary and
Jeff Mullen offsetting the 47-47 scorecard struck by dissenting
judge Glenn Trowbridge. Diaz walked away with $2,000,000 in wake of
the five-round rematch.

Meanwhile, Anthony
Johnson banked $270,000 in the co-main event, as he knocked out
Glover
Teixeira with a right uppercut 13 seconds into the first round
and likely cemented himself as the No. 1 contender at 205 pounds.
Teixeira pocketed $65,000 for his troubles.

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday released disclosed
salaries for the event. A full rundown follows:
